downloaded and installed it myself a few hours ago at home (at work now) and it looks painfully easy to use
Shell extension, so you just open windows explorer.. right click.. wallop all the options are right there.. import/export and repository explorer. Sexy

On another note, if you use Zend Studio, you can use the IDE as an SVN client as well. It is not as good as Tortoise, but it has a decent, no-bloat type interface to the SVN server.

Although if you're forced to work off a computer that you have no administrative priviledges on, it's good to know how to wrangle with the command line version.

Of the two things I've never bothered learning that I should, using CVS/SVN from the command line is one of them. The other would be regular expressions.
This probably doesn't really pertain to too many people here, but I use svnX for OS X and it's awsome. Also, the Mac diff viewer is hands down, the best diff viewer anywhere, and its built into svnX.

This is the case at my work... what command line client should I use?

Ah, Subversion is the command line client.
Hmm... I've really got to boot up that Portable Subversion project I had a little while ago. Download the binaries for Subversion and add the folder you put them in into your Path. Then boot up cmd.exe and use `svn` and friends.

Or you could ask the sysadmin to install the software for you. Unless your company is like mine and will not install anything they can't buy a license for.

OK, I have tortoise set up and am looking at the checkout module screen (and the "OK" button is disabled). I am trying to checkout this:
http://devnetstore.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
and no luck... what do I do?
